Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 73: Yang Transformation Technique
Inside a hotel room.
Sun Zhe lay convulsing on the bed, his face twisted into a gruesome grimace of pain. The agony coursing through his body felt like a thousand cuts, so intense it brought him to the brink of despair, as if he were suffocating. He felt as if he were experiencing sleep paralysis—fully conscious but unable to move his body. As the pain persisted, his hatred for Gu Lingxue grew deeper.
However, the pain in his heart was even worse than the physical agony.
"Gu Lingxue, you liar! You’d better hope I never see you again!"
「...」
Sun Zhe didn’t regain control of his body until after ten o’clock that night. He painfully crawled out of bed and left the hotel. After returning home, he went straight to his room and locked the door, not wanting Zhu Yan to see him in such a wretched state.
"Zhe, what’s wrong? Open the door," Zhu Yan called out, her voice filled with concern. She stood outside the door wearing a revealing nightgown.
From inside the room came Sun Zhe’s weak voice, "Stepmom, I’m just tired today. I want to rest early."
"Alright then... Goodnight."
Zhu Yan felt a pang of disappointment as she returned to her room. The unsuppressible fire of desire kept her from sleeping. In the end, unable to bear it any longer, she had to find her long-unused ’fake boyfriend.’
「...」
Inside his room, Sun Zhe sat cross-legged on the bed. Staring at his pale, emaciated face in the mirror, his eyes burned with extreme hatred. If Gu Lingxue were standing before him right now, he would have eaten her alive, piece by piece.
After returning home, he had tried several more times out of sheer desperation but finally had to give up all hope. His cultivation was now completely gone; there wasn’t a trace of True Qi left in his body, and the Inner Core in his Dantian had vanished. He swallowed the two remaining Qi Passage Pills from last time, but they had no effect.
The fall from a Golden Core Stage Martial Artist to an ordinary person in an instant created a massive gap that he found impossible to accept. This was worse than death.
「The next day.」
When Sun Zhe woke up, he didn’t dare to leave his room. He only ventured out after Zhu Yan had left for work. After a night’s sleep, he found that his haggard face had regained some color, and the pain and weakness in his body were gone.
He was eating breakfast ravenously when his phone chimed with a message notification. Picking it up, he saw it was from Lin Shuqing. She said she had already arrived downstairs.
Sun Zhe sent a voice message, saying, "I live in Unit 5, Apartment 402. Teacher Lin, just come on up."
「A moment later.」
Lin Shuqing took off her high heels, changed into a pair of slippers, and walked into the living room. Seeing Sun Zhe’s utterly drained appearance, she couldn’t help but frown.
"What’s wrong with you?" she typed on her phone, her eyes full of concern.
Sun Zhe smiled and shook his head. "I’m fine. I probably just pulled an all-nighter and didn’t sleep well."
But Lin Shuqing clearly didn’t believe him. She gave him a deep look, and when something suddenly occurred to her, her heart skipped a beat.
"Teacher Lin, this is the Transformation Talisman Water I prepared for you yesterday," Sun Zhe said, suddenly taking out a small glass bottle and handing it to her.
Lin Shuqing snapped out of her thoughts and carefully accepted the bottle. As soon as she pulled out the stopper, a pungent, fishy stench assaulted her nostrils, making her gag. Immediately after, however, she felt a cool, soothing sensation spread through her throat. It felt as if a fishbone that had been stuck there for a very long time was finally beginning to loosen.
This Transformation Talisman Water might actually work!
With that, she steeled her resolve and, right in front of Sun Zhe, drank the Transformation Talisman Water in one gulp. The indescribable taste caused her exquisite face to twist as if she had put on a mask of agony. She sat on the sofa, one hand clutching her throat and the other holding a trash can, retching continuously.
Sun Zhe stood by, watching nervously. He had no idea if the Transformation Talisman Water would actually work.
"COUGH! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."
Suddenly, Lin Shuqing erupted in a violent fit of coughing. After coughing up a mass of black blood, her entire body felt much lighter.
"It’s out! It’s finally out!" she rasped, her eyes wide with excitement as she looked at Sun Zhe. Then she suddenly froze, her delicate body trembling. She had just realized... she had spoken.
Sun Zhe smiled at her, a wave of relief washing over him. "Congratulations, Teacher Lin," he said warmly.
Tears instantly welled up in Lin Shuqing’s eyes. Crying out in joy, she threw her arms around Sun Zhe.
"This is wonderful! I can finally speak again!"
"Sun Zhe, thank you!"
"You’re my benefactor!"
Sun Zhe smiled, gently patting her back. He was happy for her, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for himself.
A long while later, Lin Shuqing finally calmed her excitement and regained her usual composure. She released Sun Zhe, her cheeks flushed as she stepped aside.
Sun Zhe advised, "For now, try not to talk too much. Once you’re home, take good care of your throat. Eat some soothing things, like lozenges."
"Okay, I got it," Lin Shuqing nodded. She looked up at Sun Zhe, her lips pursed, and suddenly asked, "Sun Zhe, were you struck by the Yang Transformation Technique?"
"Yang Transformation Technique?" Sun Zhe frowned at her words.
Lin Shuqing watched him intently. "When I first came in, I felt something was very wrong with you. But it wasn’t until I hugged you that I was certain... you’re a victim of the Yang Transformation Technique." A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes as she asked, "Which woman could be so malicious as to use such an evil technique on you?"
Sun Zhe sighed, momentarily at a loss for words. He had never heard of this Yang Transformation Technique. But judging by Lin Shuqing’s reaction, he could guess that his situation might be even more serious than he had imagined.
"Oh, right, Sun Zhe," Lin Shuqing said suddenly. "I have some things to take care of, so I’ll head back first. I’ll see you tomorrow."
"Sure, Teacher Lin. Take care."
"Don’t keep calling me Teacher Lin. Just call me Shuqing."
"Alright, Shuqing."
Lin Shuqing gave a gentle smile. "Then I’ll head home for now. Make sure you get some rest."
After returning home, Lin Shuqing hurried into the study her grandmother had left her, wanting to look up information on the Yang Transformation Technique. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Sun Zhe, don’t worry. I will save you.
Finally, her efforts paid off. After nearly an hour of searching, she found the information she was looking for. But as she read the contents of the book, her face flushed crimson with embarrassment.
How could it be like this? To break the Yang Transformation Technique, I have to... do *that* with him.
「In the blink of an eye, night descended.」
Sun Zhe had been lying around at home all day, and his body felt like it had recovered a fair bit. However, the oppressive feeling in his heart had not lifted, leaving him restless and desperate for some kind of release. After some thought, he finally took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts to find Wang Feng’s number.
"Hey, Wang Feng."
"What’s up, Young Master Sun?"
"Are you free?"
"I am!"
"Find a place. I want to drink."
「Before long.」
Wang Feng picked Sun Zhe up in his Range Rover from the Ping’an District and took him straight to a KTV.
Inside the deluxe private room, at a word from Wang Feng, the hostess brought in a group of scantily clad room girls. Looking at the rows of long legs in stockings, Sun Zhe’s eyes widened, surprised at the quality of the girls here.
Wang Feng smirked lewdly. "Hehe, Young Master Sun, take your pick! Whichever one you like!"
Sun Zhe’s gaze swept over them. They all had the same ’internet-famous’ face—beautiful, but cookie-cutter.
Just then, a girl in a Japanese-style short skirt and a crop top, with a pure and sweet face, raised her hand. With a sweet smile, she said, "Boss, I’m a really good drinker, you know."
Tired of looking, Sun Zhe just said, "You, then."
"Thank you, Boss!"
